FAMILY SMOKING PREVENTION AND TOBACCO CONTROL ACT
On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco
Control Act) (Public Law 111-31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act amended the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco
use by minors.
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
Section 904(a)(1) of the act requires that each tobacco product manufacturer or importer submit “a listing of all
ingredients, including tobacco, substances, compounds, and additives that are, as of such date, added by the
manufacturer to the tobacco, paper, filter, or other part of each tobacco product by brand and by quantity in each
brand and subbrand.”.
Section 904(c)(1) of the act requires that a tobacco product manufacturer provide all information required
under section 904(a) at least 90 days prior to the delivery for introduction into interstate commerce” of a tobacco
product not on the market as of June 22, 2009 (for cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own (RYO), and
smokeless tobacco) or [publication date] (for other tobacco products).
Section 904(c)(2) of the act requires that a tobacco product manufacturer advise the FDA in writing at least 90
days prior to adding any new tobacco additive or increasing in quantity an existing tobacco additive, except for
those additives that have been designated by the FDA through regulation as not a human or animal carcinogen,
or otherwise harmful to health under intended conditions of use.
Section 904(c)(3) of the act requires that a tobacco product manufacturer advise the FDA in writing within
60 days of eliminating or decreasing an existing additive, or adding or increasing an additive that has been
designated by the FDA through regulation as not a human or animal carcinogen, or otherwise harmful to health
under intended conditions of use.
To assist persons making these ingredient submissions, FDA has issued its Guidance for Industry: Listing of
Ingredients in Tobacco Products (Guidance). This Guidance and the Tobacco Control Act are available through
the web links listed on page XX. You may also refer to the Definitions and Instructions sections at page XX.

DEFINITIONS
FDA intends to use the following definitions in implementing the ingredient listing requirements of section 904 of
the act.
1. Additive: The term “additive” means “any substance the intended use of which results or may reasonably be
expected to result, directly or indirectly, in its becoming a component or otherwise affecting the characteristic
of any tobacco product (including any substances intended for use as a flavoring or coloring or in producing,
manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding), except that
such term does not include tobacco or a pesticide chemical residue in or on raw tobacco or a pesticide
chemical” (section 900(1) of the act (21 U.S.C. 387(1)).
2

Co-package: A co-package is a tobacco product that is offered for sale containing multiple distinct tobacco
products (e.g., a can of RYO tobacco that includes a booklet of rolling paper), as opposed to containing a
quantity of the same tobacco product (e.g., a pack of 20 cigarettes).

3. Component or Part: Component or part means any software or assembly of materials intended or
reasonably expected: 1) to alter or affect the tobacco product’s performance, composition, constituents or
characteristics; or 2) to be used with or for the human consumption of a tobacco product. The term excludes
anything that is an accessory of a tobacco product.
4. Importer: The term “importer” means any person who imports any tobacco product that is intended for sale
or distribution to consumers in the United States.
5. Manufacturer: The term manufacturer means any person, including any repacker and/or relabeler, who
manufactures, fabricates, assembles, processes, or labels a finished tobacco product.
6. Pouch: The term “pouch” means a permeable material, intended to be filled with pre-portioned tobacco
product and placed in the oral cavity with the tobacco product.
7. Tobacco Product: The term “tobacco product” means “any product made or derived from tobacco that is
intended for human consumption, including any component, part, or accessory of a tobacco product (except
for raw materials other than tobacco used in manufacturing a component, part, or accessory of a tobacco
product)” (section 201(rr) of the act (21 U.S.C. 321(rr))). This term does not include an article that is a drug,
a device, or a combination product as defined in the act (section 201(rr) of the act (21 U.S.C. 321(rr))). Thus,
the term is not limited to products containing tobacco, but also includes components, parts, and accessories
of tobacco products, whether they are sold for further manufacturing or for consumer use. For example,
tobacco, papers and filters are tobacco products, whether they are sold to consumers for use with roll-yourown tobacco or are sold for further manufacturing into a product sold to a consumer, such as a cigarette.

INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Required fields in this form are designated by asterisks (*).
NOTE: Sections I, II, III, IV and VII only need to be completed once for each unique tobacco product or
tobacco product co-package.
For additional details and instructions or specific questions, please refer to the FDA Guidance for Industry: Listing
of Ingredients in Tobacco Products

Section I – Submission Type
Check one Submission Type as appropriate. Please refer to definitions on page 1 and the special notes on the
bottom of Section I.

Section II – Submission Identification
Identify whether the submitter is the manufacturer or the importer. Under section 904(a)(1), submission of
ingredient information for imported products may be submitted by either the manufacturer or the importer.
Submission of ingredient information under 904(c)(1) of the act must be submitted by the manufacturer.
If you are reporting as an importer, and you are also a domestic tobacco product manufacturer, then you are also
to submit the ingredient information for the products you manufacture. In this situation, you would submit twice -once as an importer and once as a tobacco product manufacturer.
You must provide the submitting party’s name and address. If you are submitting on behalf of the manufacturer
or importer as an agent, report information for the manufacturer or importer, not your own information.

Section III – Manufacturer of Imported Products
Complete all contact fields as indicated. If you are reporting ingredient information for products from multiple
manufacturers, please submit a separate submission for each manufacturer.

Section IV – Tobacco Product Identification
If you have previously submitted registration and listing information under section 905 of the act, you should
have received an acknowledgement containing FDA-assigned tracking numbers (TP#######) for each of your
products. If you choose to enter this tracking number, you may skip item 4. If you do not have an FDA-assigned
tracking number for your product, complete all required identifying information in Section IV. Complete this
section for each brand and sub-brand for which ingredient information is being submitted.
Report in item 5 if the product is to be sold to consumers for their use, for further manufacture, or both sale for
consumer use and also further manufacture.
Report in item 7 the Category and Subcategory or Category and Component for all tobacco products.
For example: if you were reporting on a finished cigarette you might check category: “Cigarettes”,
subcategory: “Combusted, Filtered” and then move to Section V to provide each component and its
ingredients. Alternatively, if you were reporting on a cigarette filter sold for further manufacture you might
check category cigarette and component and then move to Section to fill out component type.
For reporting of a co-packaged product, consisting of multiple product categories and/or subcategories, check
the Yes box at item 6 and all relevant boxes in item 7.
For example: if you were reporting on a Roll-Your-Own Tobacco Filler with Rolling Papers included, you
would check category: “Roll-Your-Own Tobacco Products”, subcategory: “Roll-Your-Own Tobacco Filler”,

FORM FDA 3742 (4/16)

Page 15

and subcategory: “Rolling Paper”. You would then move to Section V to provide each component and its
ingredients.

Section V – Component Identification
Complete all fields as indicated. If this tobacco product has multiple components, list each component and
its ingredients separately. Complete a separate copy of Section V for each component for which ingredient
information is being submitted.
For Component Type, enter only a single component type and the specific component name here each time.
If the reported product is a co-packaged product consisting of components of more than one product category
(e.g., Cigarette and RYO), ensure to identify the product categories and the component names (e.g., Cigarette
Filter; RYO Filter).
For example if you are reporting on the adhesives for cigarettes including the tipping paper and the rod,
you would report the component type as adhesive and the specific component name as tipping paper
adhesive and then you would list the ingredients within that tipping paper adhesive; you would then fill out
Section V for cigarette rod adhesive and provide the ingredients for the cigarette rod.

Section VI – Ingredient Listing
If you are submitting ingredient lists for multiple products in a single submission, enter the product name and/or
tracking number on Sections IV, V and VI, such that the ingredient information can be linked to a given product.
This section should be completed for each ingredient listed. Multiple copies of this section may be submitted.
You should also assign a unique ingredient number (IN#) for each ingredient. This may be done by sequential
numbering or by any other system you devise. Keep records of these numbers for reporting updates to your
ingredients. Ingredient numbers must be used when linking specified ingredients to complex ingredients.
Part 1: Ingredient Identification
Complete the section of Part 1.A, 1.B, or 1.C, as applicable for the type of ingredient. If you are listing a single
chemical substance, for instance, you would complete only Part 1.A before moving on to Part 2.
Part 1.A: Single Chemical Substance
Item 3: If this ingredient is a reaction product, FDA requests that you identify each ingredient known or
intended to form this product using their ingredient numbers (IN#). You may use continuation sheets if
necessary.
Part 1.B: Leaf Tobacco
Each type of leaf tobacco is to be reported as a separate ingredient. Tobacco that has been processed with
any chemical, additive, or substance other than potable water is listed in Part 1.C. Similarly, tobacco blends or
reconstituted tobacco is reported in Part 1.C.
Part 1.C: Complex Ingredients
Item 1: Complex ingredients must be identified by a manufacturer’s name and a uniquely identifying item
name and/or number. If you obtain this ingredient from multiple sources, you must list the manufacturer’s
name and uniquely identifying item name and/or number for each source. You may use continuation pages
as necessary.
Item 2: For a complex ingredient custom made to your specifications, each specified ingredient must be
